PRISMATIC CELL

A vehicle includes at least one electric motor connected to an energy storage system. The energy storage system has a battery and an energy distribution controller. The battery includes a plurality of electrically connected prismatic cells. Each prismatic cell in the plurality of electrically connected prismatic cells includes a first energy storage component disposed in a housing and a second energy storage component disposed in the housing. The first energy storage component is electrically connected to the second energy storage component in a series connection. A positive terminal of the first energy storage component protrudes through the housing and a negative terminal of the second energy storage component protrudes through the housing.
